Issue with pimpleHFDIBFoam Using OpenFOAM-8-Debug During fallingParticle Case Execution

[Noahzang]

Dear Dr. Isoz,

I hope this message finds you well.

I encountered an issue while using the custom solver pimpleHFDIBFoam that you developed. Specifically, I compiled the solver with the OpenFOAM-debug version and ran the fallingParticle case, but the program threw the following error:

// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

After debugging, I found that the issue might be related to the HFDIBDEM.interpolateIB function in pEqn.H. However, as I am relatively new to OpenFOAM, I am not entirely familiar with the internal workings of the code, and I'm struggling to pinpoint and resolve the issue.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a look and offer some advice when you have the time.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Yang

Hello, thank you for your interest in our code (and sorry for the late reply).

If you share a minimal working example that will reproduce the error on your system, we can try to run it on our machine to analyze and potentially solve the issue. Anyways, fatal errors caused by different lengths of lists are often related to either change in the number of particles or to the change in the mesh resolution.

Best regards,
Martin
